Pavlidis Thema red Vertical (Aiolos HQ): The wine feels youthful. The nose is bright, full fresh, red cherries, currants, light chocolate notes, cocoa, nice oak frame, sweet spices, a few liqueur notes, plus, a handful of raisins adding depth In the palate, the wine is smooth despite its big but not overpowering tannins, nice black fruit, texture and mouthfeel, a touch of alcohol heat, full body, mineral long finish

The wine is deep ruby with slightly purple rim. It is developing, with medium(+) intensity aromas of ripe (bordering jammy) red and black fruit (sweet cherry, bramble, black plums) with additional notes of kernel and oak (mocha, dark chocolate and vanilla). The wine is dry with medium(+) acidity, medium(+) fine-grained tannins, high alcohol, full body, viscous mouthfeel and medium(+) intensity flavours reflecting the nose. Medium(+), slightly bitter (tea leaf) finish.
It's a very good wine. The alcohol is slightly warming, but well-contained within pure and opulent fruit, and well-complemented by oaky complexity and a marked acidic-tannic structure.
Stylistically reminiscent of serious modern syrah-blends from the Languedoc-Roussillon, with depth of fruit and solid structure for at least another 3-5 years of bottle ageing.
15% ABV 12€ Syrah-Agiorgitiko

Wines of Greece Grand Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Enjoyable enough black fruit, but extremely firm tannins for that level of fruit.
